I'm hoping to fing some 15" wheels that fit without grinding to much of the caliper off. Anybody have any insite? There are so many more choices for 15" slicks.

 

I think no matter what 15 inch rim you buy you are going to need to grind the caliper. I guess you would have to test fit a lot of rims to find the ones with the least amount of grinding.

I know a lot of f-body guys that have done this. Wonder if there calipers are the same size?

 

josh, i got some more rims to try, but they're pretty rusty.............

 

I bought a set of 15" rims made for large brakes. The inside diameter of the wheel is virtually flat from the bead to the hub. And there is know way in hell a 15" wheel will fit without a good amount of grinding. So since I had the wheels the grinder came out. I think I took about an 1/8th inch off the caliper to fit the wheel. Definatly NOT for the faint of heart!! I can post some pictures if anybody is intrested. Now hopefully the caliper wont snap in half the first time I jump on the brakes.

 

you......... and i'll say it again........... are a sick man.

when's it time for ? i'm waiting on you, you know this!

 

That beast gonna be ready for the Fall Truck Nationals at New England Dragway, Sunday September 25 ?

 

Yeah I have to install the gears and buy some slicks and I'll be happy.

 

I'd love to see some pics of the grinding.

 

Here ya go
